I would like to live a day in Ancient Greece then in Ancient Egypt. And a day in Sumerian Civilization.

And I would like a day in the Stone Age. I would like to see the expression on the face of that guy who invented the wheel. (I think it's the most important invention of the humankind)

I would go and see Emily Dickinson for a moment.

Also I want a day in England in 1000s.

I want to watch Atatürk dancing to Sarı Zeybek.

Hmm, I will add some more later.

I would love to be in İstanbul- Constantinopolis in May 1453, sitting on a hill looking down to the Golden Horn and witness how the boats have been taken over the hills.

I would also like to see what the people of Constantinopolis were doing, how they are reacting for that invasion and to hear their worries and thoughts.

Are they trying to keep on with their daily routine? Running around with fear? Are they in disbelief?

Historically that would be the great opportunity to see the " other side " of the story.

If I were given the chance I would want to be here:
26th August 1922 Kocatepe, Afyon (Turkey)

Dağlarda tek
tek
ateşler yanıyordu.
Ve yıldızlar öyle ışıltılı, öyle ferahtılar ki
şayak kalpaklı adam
nasıl ve ne zaman geleceğini bilmeden
güzel, rahat günlere inanıyordu
ve gülen bıyıklarıyla duruyordu ki mavzerinin yanında,
birdenbire beş adım sağında onu gördü.
Paşalar onun arkasındaydılar.
O, saatı sordu.
Paşalar : «Üç,» dediler.
Sarışın bir kurda benziyordu.
Ve mavi gözleri çakmak çakmaktı.
Yürüdü uçurumun başına kadar,
eğildi, durdu.
Bıraksalar
ince, uzun bacakları üstünde yaylanarak
ve karanlıkta akan bir yıldız gibi kayarak
Kocatepe'den Afyon Ovası'na atlıyacaktı.

I would be with Ataturk on 29 October 1923.

If i could interfere i would go to Sultan Suleyman time and tell him: Don't help François 1. They don't deserve to be helped! They will deny our help in the future and backstab us.

Just drink a Turkish coffee with Atatürk.

I'd be interested in seeming my mother's face again. Just to go back to a time when she was healthy, alive and well.

i'd choose to see Roswell Ufo Accident with my eyes.

You know in 1947,in New Mexico USA a real alien vehicle crushed to the earth.USA miltary says it was a top secret research baloon,but we know that it was a real evidence of life from out of the world! By the way Roswell is synonymous with UFO and likely ranks as the most famous alleged UFO incident.

I'd like to go back to where it all started. The Creation of Man.

MORTİCİA

Anyhow I guess I would want to see the Dardanel War and if I were to given anothe chance I would want to see the Ancient Egyptian era.

Hi Fahri,

Umm, Nice question ...
In fact, I would choose many ...
If I sorted it,
1) Meeting with Dede Korkut and talking with him ...
2) On 26 August 1071 - Seljuk Turkish Time, talking with Alp Aslan ...
3) Old Istanbul and Fatih Sultan Time like Ipek said ...
4) Of Course, meeting with Ataturk and drinking tea like Murat said ...

Ancient Greece
Hungary and Romania back in the years 1850 - 1950 with counts and countesses and those elegant balls with amazing dresses and elegant dances...
Mexico after 1900
Maltese knights

I'd go back to the prehistoric days when they "built" Stonehenge. I am intrigued by the mystery around how they managed to get those huge stones there in those times.

Wright brothers-first flight at Kitty Hawk, NC.

I-M-B

I think I couldn't help interfering, for example giving the world map,the sciences discoveries and inventions to the Osmanli ( guns,planes,atomic bomb,medicine,etc...), and the Turks would have sent ships to America before Spain...

But as you say we can't interfere the events, so I will just say : the conquest of Istanbul in 1453

If I were given a chance to travel back in time to see one particular event with my own eyes, I would choose to see the world war 2. I want to see how my great grandfather die with honor in the battlefield fighting the Japanese in Malaya. If I given the chance to travel again, I want to see how the Universe began.

Qu'est ce que tu pense?

Thomas Edison finishing his creation of the light bulb.

Totally Blunt

That's unfair, Leprechaun. There are so many:

The explosion of the Yellow Stone volcano, that, in theory, caused dinosaurs to go extinct.

Emerging of Jesus Christ as a public figure. Teachings of Muhammed from his own mouth. Enlightenment of Gautama Buddha. A few pharaohs, Cengiz Han.

Battles fought (both actual and political) by Mustafa Kemal.

And the many events that I donot remember now. But if I have to choose one, I would have liked to see Atatürk.

Third P

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I wanted to know really if that happened in real life. I wanted to compare the scenes i have seen in movies if it really happened just the way it is.

Trotsky vs Kerensky- НекIо!

I'm sorry, I can't pick just one :)

-The conquer of Istanbul
-Lenin's arrival at Finland Station.
-The assassination of Trotsky -I would be so disconcerting for me not to interfere with it tho-
-Geli Raubal's death. (Hitler's niece whom Hitler was allegedly in love with)
-The talk between Cavour and Louis Napoleon in Plombieres. Some people might find it this dull since "Napoléon le petit" was not the brightest man of all times :)
